Quicken Home & Business 2008

The 2008 version of Home & Business from Quicken makes it easy to handle your home/ personal finances and the finances for a small business using a single tool.

For people concerned with tracking their expenditure, Quicken have added a new My Saving Plan feature. Using this new feature you can predict how much you will spend each month and then compare with your actual expenditure as the month progresses. Using this feature allows you to predict how much you will save each month or how much you will have extra to spend the next month.

In common with a lot of newer package, Quicken Home and Business includes integration with online systems, particulary online banking, credit card and loan systems. If you are fed up with keeping paper copies of bank statements, Home and Business will allow you to scan in paper documents, allowing all your important documents to be kept in a single location.

For the 2008 version, the user interface has been revamped, making the tool much easier and more friendly to use.

Although perhaps more suited to small business owners than those wishing to manage their personal finances, with improved reporting facilities and extra ease of use, the 2008 version is a worthy upgrade for existing users and is well worth considering further for people looking to purchase a basic accounting package.
